Does that mean 'posh' ones like Cheshire Blue can't go?

[Ben-2000]

There should be quite a few people (like myself) who will buy tickets tonight just before the game, that should push the gate up another thousand or so...

The game has little interest to most fans.

The game has little interest to most fans.

It was near full a year or 2 ago when the U21's were last at Ewood.

We struggle to get over 20k for our games at the moment. 2 years ago we finished 6th.

Do you really think people are going to pay to watch the u-21's?

[Dan Furness]

I would much rather be spending my cash in the pub tonight too

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Yes, obviously people will pay for the previlege of having an England U21 game at Ewood....stop being so bloody miserable ffs!!

It's not just for the people of Blackburn to turn out, is it! It's for anyone in lancashire to support an England side.

[Dan Furness]

why would i possibly go out my way to watch england u21s?

You dont even go out of your way to watch Rovers.

EXACTLY!

[roversmum]

why would i possibly go out my way to watch england u21s?

Because it's an England International Game

Because you can talent spot the up and coming England Squad

Because we want to show off Ewood

Because it's a special occasion

Because our Jon Stead is playing

Because you can

Just Because

Still, why would we possibly want miserable (thinking of rude word but won't say it) people there?

I'm going, and I intend to enjoy it!

Come on England, and Jon Stead!

Are the bars open or is it like those crappy UEFA games when you have to remember to take a large hip flask?

Lack of information about this could easily depress the gate by several thousand on a Friday night.

Alternatively you can sit in a nice warm public house supping draught ale and watch the action. I know which I'll be doing. It's a Friday night, I might have gone on a Saturday but that's life

Shouldn't that be the TSB's cash?

You would have missed England V Wales to go and watch tonights game if it were being played tomorrow? Fair enough, your choice I guess.

[Dan Furness]

Amen brother

Show off Ewood? no thanks I think a half-full Ewood doesnt really need parading on tv do you.

Spot up and coming talent? oh sorry I aint heard of Cole etc...

Stead playing? Yeah he plays at Ewood a lot, funny that

Exactly!

See - he's been corrupted already.

Did I say if the game was tomorrow? I've never been to an under-21's game purely on the basis that I've got better things to do on a Friday night.

You can see from the crowd that they're full of kids and parents with horns and whistles anyway, no thanks.

[Ossydave]

SteB won't be there anyway, he'll be propping up the bar in the cross tonight surely?

[Dan Furness]

no thats what IM doing, Ste will be at the game but no doubt in the cross for last orders

If you're talking about Ossy, a draughty public house with warm ale would be nearer the mark.
